Special Issue on Aspect of Peripheral Leukocyte 

as the Factor for Estimating the QOL

The recent excessive commercialization is particularly confusing for patients and doctors who seek remedies for heretofore undefined symptoms. Furthermore, since these treatments and supplements have not undergone strict testing, they are not always safe and meaningful the same drug may have different effects according to the individual patient and dosage. Complicated considerations are necessary for the application of practices such as those found in outlet supplements.

An oriental and traditional medicine has attracted much attention all over the world. This new interest includes traditional herbal medications, acupuncture, moxibustion, etc. However, these therapies have not been well defined. Some are simply based on legend or belief while others are traditionally applied but without scientific evidence.  Then the assessment of each therapy and remedy need for their capacity through a scientific methods especially developed by Western Medicine.

One of the most positive scales for each medicine is an estimation of leukocyte as well as immunocompetent cells in number and function. A close relationship has been identified between neuropsychological network, endocrine system and peripheral white blood cell.

For this special issue, we intend to invite investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will provide evidences on the basis of traditional knowledge of the use of the medicinal therapies, especially in East & Central Asia. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

l  Immunological factors as recommended scale for CAM(Fundamental research)

l  Local Traditional Medicine
